hi deathman

Welcome to CompuForums,

This is because the hamster that powers the wheel inside your computer is probably dead. I suggest getting down to your nearest pet shop immeadiatley and purchasing one.

Try to get a syrian hamster as they are the fastest.

Good luck with this, if you have any more problems then please post again.

when you say flip the switch do you mean the red switch that changes the power that goes into your psu??
if so i would suggest not doing that as you may blow up your power supply....i learnt that the hard way.....

Please first check things if they are okey:
1. Processor?
2. RAM?
3. Hard disk?

Ok first thing make sure the plug switch on the back of the power supply is set in the on position. Second since I don't know where you are from i can't tell you whatthe voltage should be set at, but make sure its the right one. Third doest it even power up? If so does it past post?
